Exploring Content

Thought processes, including memory and orientation, reflect one s ability or inability to assimilate and communicate ideas in a logical and coherent fashion. Thought content explores the substance of one s ideation, and typical aberrations such as obsessions, phobias, illusions, delusions, or hallucinations may be elicited. 

For faculty to effectively transform their courses, they need to learn the rationale for such change, identify nontraditional content, explore universal design strategies and student-centered classroom interactions, and examine their own biases and preconceptions about students and teaching. Course transformation workshops and other ongoing faculty development strategies are a must ... 

The acid content of cmde petroleum varies from 0—3%, with cmdes from California, Venezuela, Russia, and Romania having the highest content. Smaller amounts are found ia U.S. Gulf Coast cmdes, whereas Httie or no naphthenic acids are found ia Pennsylvania, Iraq, or Saudi Arabia cmdes. Typical concentrations are shown ia Table 2. Minor amounts of naphthenic acids are also found ia bituminous oil sands, but these are not economically recoverable. Identification of naphthenic acids ia water from oil-beating strata is being examined as a potential method of petroleum exploration (18). 

Life-Support Applications. Exploration of outer space by humans has focused considerable attention on maximum as weU as minimum limits in the oxygen content of life-support atmospheres. Above the earth, both the atmospheric pressure and the partial pressure of oxygen decrease rapidly. The oxygen content of air remains constant at 20.946% to an altitude of ca 20 km, after which it decreases rapidly (1). 

Appraisal wells, drilled at the exploration stage within structures or other traps with an observed oil and gas content for the purpose of studying the geological structure of the deposit and the quality of the mineral to the extent necessary to permit confirmation of oil and natural gas reserves in categories which will serve as a basis for investment decisions, as well as obtaining data required for developing and exploiting the deposit. 

The interest in ever-higher energy content has caused the development of cells with relatively high voltages to receive much attention in the lithium battery research community in recent years. This has led to the exploration of a number of positive electrode materials that operate at potentials of about 4 V, or even more, positive of the potential of elemental lithium. 

Additional model studies are needed to explore the effects of CaCOa compensation. Examination of the extent of the CaCOa preservation in deep-sea sediments is needed to verify model predictions of how the [COa] ion content of deep-sea water has changed with time. 

In parallel developments, oxygen isotope studies based on the stable phosphate ion in calcified tissues have been found to be more successful using enamel than bone as sample material (Ayliffe et al. 1994 Bryant et al 1994), and similarly oxygen isotopes from the less stable C—0 bond in enamel carbonate seems to be more predictable (Bocherens et al. 1996). Researchers exploring the relationship between Electron Spin Resonance (ESR) and carbonate content in enamel have found that dates are mostly consistent when carbonate levels did not deviate much from biogenic levels (Grun et al. 1990 Rink and Schwarcz 1995). 

Since it is conceivable that some slight change in a process might lead to a different content, a mental note is made of this by stating that if the new result differs from the old one, the alternate hypothesis H applies. The difference between Hq and might be due to pa pb and/or a a ob-The first possibility is explored in the following section, the second one will be dealt with in Section 1.7.1. 

We have defined above a way of quantifying the structure of water based on the profile of fx values that encode the number of each possible joined state of a molecule. It is now possible to use this profile as a measure of the structure of water at different temperatures. As an application of this metric it is possible to relate this to physical properties. We have shown the results of our earlier work in Table 3.3. The reader is encouraged to repeat these and to explore other structure-property relationships using the fx as single or multiple variables. A unified parameter derived from the five fx values expressed as a fraction of 1.0, might be the Shannon information content. This could be calculated from all the data created in the above studies and used as a single variable in the analysis of water and other liquid properties. 

Al-Babih, S., Hoa, T.T.C., and Schaub, R, Exploring the potential of the bacterial carotene desaturase CrtI to increase the beta-carotene content in Golden Rice, J. Exp. Bot. 57, 1007, 2006. 

The present chapter has no ambition to cover all these topics. We focus solely on the information content of the two-pathway coherent control approach, where the energy-domain, single quantum states approach to the control problem simplifies the phase information and allows analysis at the most fundamental level. We regret having to limit the scope of this chapter and thus exclude much of the relevant literature. We hope, however, that this contribution will entice the reader to explore related literature of relevance.
